Today would've been the legendary Dick Gregory’s 90th birthday. While he may not be here, we want to continue to celebrate him and his contributions to the world.

His story is on display at the Men of Change outdoor exhibition from now until December.

@NCRMuseum Thanks for asking.

Visiting the National Mall to see Resurrection City was an unforgettable experience for me at age 14.

The #1968CampaignForPoor is a powerful @sitesExhibits exhibition and I'm glad it's carrying this story to your visitors today.

🎶 Route 66 is celebrated as America’s Highway, but the freedom to travel it in the 40s was reserved for whites.

Half of the 89 counties on the route banned blacks after dark in sundown towns.

How can young Americans create a more just and equitable nation? In one week, teens nationwide will discuss the circumstances that make it urgent to challenge injustice. If you and your students can't participate live, you can still hold your own summit: https://t.co/z3xv05RvfH

What I’m expecting museums to be is driven by scholarship and the community. I want museums to be a place that gives the public not just what it wants, but what it need. Smithsonian Leader Says ‘Museums Have a Social Justice Role to Play’ https://t.co/TwLW4olTi6

“Sometimes with these situations, for the next few months we’ll all wave the social justice flag, and then we’ll go back to our corners,” she said, “I’m hoping that’s not going to be what happens this time.” https://t.co/lwec28rjkM
